We’ve all seen the resurrection eggs being sold in Christian book stores and other places. Some of us old timers even remember making our own resurrection eggs before someone was smart enough to market them and sell them in egg cartons! My idea is to have our kids make an object lesson on their own based on the resurrection eggs, so they can go home and share the gospel with their parents, their siblings, their neighbors and their friends at school. » I want to read more! »

To make the Empty Tomb Rolls, you will need Bridgford Frozen Rolls, large marshmallows, melted butter, and cinnamon-sugar. Give each child a roll and have them flatten it. Then have them dip the marshmallow into the melted butter. (We skewer them with a toothpick to keep hands a bit cleaner.) » I want to read more! »

o 2 precut ark shapes per child (just draw the shape of an ark on 2 sheets of construction paper)
o Stapler & staples
o 2 rainbow handles per child (2 strips of paper with lines drawn vertically on each strip so that the children can color the strips in rainbow colors)
o Crayons
o Animal Crackers
o Ziploc Bags (1 per child)Make a boat basket with two ark shapes by stapling the sides and bottom together. Have the children color the boat and the rainbow handles, and then staple the handles onto the boat basket. (Crossing the handles over one another and stapling each end of each handle to the opposite side of the boat makes it sturdier) Fill the boat with animal crackers to take home (put some crackers in the Ziploc bags and place a bag in each boat basket.)

Instead of the old idea of Mother’s day coupons for a free hug, or doing a certain chore, etc. try making a small booklet where the child, or an adult helping a small child can fill in things they will pray for their mother. Add drawings and a picture of the child to make it special and unique.
For example: » I want to read more! »
